Animal advocate Colleen Paige created National Wildlife Day on 4th September 2005 to spread the word about animal extinction threats. When wildlife conservationist, Steve Irwin died on the 4th September 2006 it was decided to have two National Wildlife Days. The other is on 22nd February, the date of Steve Irwin's birth in 1962.
So today is the day to read about Steve Irwin.
It is also a good day to read about an even more famous wildlife conservationist, Sir David Attenborough.
